The SAG strike or no strike arguments finally reached me, who is sitting quite far away from the frontier. I followed up the issue somewhat to get a feeling about the industry. Hard to find details on major sites like LA times. I went to sag.com but to my disappointment, most content there is filled with emotionally charged words and a few bulletin points without supporting numbers and comparisons. Some of their statements are so obviously misleading that even an outsider like me can sense. Furthermore, the intentional avoidance of mentioning what AFTRA has negotiated was rather suspicious.

The next day, I got an email from a teacher (who uses emails mainly to promote his online products and seminars) but nice of him, he actually included email composites from other people. One of the email pointed out a nice article:

It’s nice to finally be able to read something down-to-the-earth.  More examples, more line-by-line point-to-point analysis, more numbers.
